You focus on healing. We handle the fight.
A serious injury changes everything at once. There are medical bills arriving before you have even left the hospital, a paycheck that suddenly stops, and an insurance adjuster who seems friendly right up until it is time to pay. Our job is to take that pressure off your shoulders so you can concentrate on getting well.
For more than twenty five years, the attorneys at Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol have represented injured people throughout Will, DuPage, and Cook Counties. We know how the insurance companies build their files, and we know how to build a stronger one.
What your case may be worth
Illinois law allows an injured person to recover for far more than a hospital bill. The full value of a claim often includes past and future medical treatment, lost wages and lost earning capacity, physical pain, disability, disfigurement, and the loss of a normal life.
Insurance companies rarely volunteer these numbers. We document each category thoroughly, bring in the right medical and vocational experts, and present a demand the other side has to take seriously.
